Just watched Irish Luck and enjoyed it very much. However, I think the pix of Mantan Moreland is actually from a Charlie Chan film–isn’t it? I don’t care for vampires or zombies, but I do like the old fashioned Gothic stories of the late 1960’s and ’70’s. I love a good “Whodunnit” w/wo ghostly antagonists! Thank you Kevin. I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into Retrovision. And I love you for it.

Caught me. I found the poster. Somehow the combination of Frankie Darro and Mantan Moreland was really charming. I love the scene where Frankie sweet talks the cop, but Mantan hasn’t got it quite right.
